Coins, catalogued your way

A coin collection inventory built on your own records

KeepsakeGrid does not come with a coin price guide, and that is the point. You describe each coin once — denomination, mint, year, condition in your own words — and it becomes a searchable record with photos, private notes, and a dated history of your estimates.

What KeepsakeGrid actually does

Every point below is a feature the product ships today. Nothing on this page describes a roadmap.

What one coin record holds

There is no fixed coin schema to fill in; the standard record carries everything a personal coin inventory needs.

The coin's name and year sit in the name field, with the mint or issuing authority recorded as the maker.
Up to 12 tags hold denomination, metal, series, and mint mark, and search reads every tag.
A slab certification number, or your own inventory number for raw coins, goes in the reference field.
Up to 4 private photos per coin, 5 MB each — obverse, reverse, edge, and the slab label.

Condition in your own words

Grades here are yours to define, not somebody else's to verify.

Pick from four plain grades: mint, excellent, good, or fair.
Third-party grade details can live in tags or notes if you keep certified coins.
KeepsakeGrid does not submit coins for grading and does not verify grades.

Your estimates over time, not a price guide

What a coin is worth is an opinion, so KeepsakeGrid keeps yours honestly labelled.

Record an estimate whenever your view changes, in your workspace currency.
Each change becomes a dated history entry, up to 24 per coin, showing the move from the previous figure.
The overview totals owned coins only, so wishlist entries never inflate the number.
Nothing is fetched from a market feed, and no figure is ever presented as an appraisal.

How a coin collection maps onto the record

These six rows are typed examples of what a small coin inventory looks like inside KeepsakeGrid — ordinary coins described the way a collector would describe them, with every value shown as that collector's estimate.

Maker: The mint or issuing authority, such as Denver or the Royal Mint.
Reference number: A slab certification number, or your own inventory number for raw coins.
Tags: Denomination, metal, series, and mint mark — all searchable.
Notes (private): Provenance, what you paid, and where the coin is stored.

An example coin collection as it appears in KeepsakeGrid. Values are the owner's estimates, not market prices. Status, estimate, and reference number are part of each record too.

What it deliberately does not do

Any tool for this job is only worth choosing once its limits are clear, so here are KeepsakeGrid's before you start typing in records.

Recorded values are your own estimates. KeepsakeGrid never presents them as appraisals, insurance values, or live market prices.
There is no barcode lookup, licensed catalogue data, or automatic pricing. Every record is one you type or import.
Private notes, serial numbers, wishlist items, photos, and valuation history are never included in a shared page.
There is no coin price guide, no auction data feed, and no grading-service integration. Recorded values remain your own estimates.

Questions about coin collection inventory

Can KeepsakeGrid tell me what my coins are worth?

No, and it does not try. You record what you think each coin is worth, and KeepsakeGrid keeps a dated history of those estimates. There is no market feed, no auction data, and no appraisal.

Where do mint marks and denominations go?

In the tags. Tags are free text and fully searchable, so denomination, metal, series, and mint mark all work as filters when you search the workspace.

Can I record certified slabs?

Yes. Put the certification number in the reference field and photograph the slab as one of the item's up-to-four private photos. Serial numbers are never included in a shared page.

I already track coins in a spreadsheet. Can I move it across?

Import a CSV with Name and Collection columns, plus optional maker, year, condition, status, estimated value, serial number, tags, and notes. The starter file below shows the exact shape, and the preview reports errors before anything is saved.
